The Yenko Super Camaro was a modified Chevrolet Camaro prepared by Yenko Chevrolet, developed by the dealership owner and racer, Don Yenko.
When the Camaro debuted, a General Motors corporate edict prevented it from carrying an engine larger than 400 in³ (6.6 L) V8. This put the Camaro at a disadvantage to the Ford Mustang, Plymouth Barracuda and the Dodge Dart since neither Ford nor Plymouth/Dodge had such a limit (although Ford only had a 390 Mustang in 1967). Don Yenko and others knew there was a market for a more powerful Camaro and found ways around the GM limit.
Yenko ordered L78 equipped SS Camaros and swapped in the Chevrolet Corvette's L72 427 in³ (7.0 L) V8. The cars came with a 4.10 rear end and heavy-duty suspension. The approximate number of cars produced is 106. Yenko also installed a fiberglass replacement hood similar to the "Stinger" hood featured on 1967 big-block Corvettes. The Camaros were equipped with a M21 transmission. The horsepower was rated at 450 hp (336 kW).
Encouraged by the success of the 1967 model, Yenko continued to produce his Yenko Super Camaros for 1968. The 1968 Yenko Super Camaros started life as Super Sports with L78 396 in³ 375 hp (280 kW) hp engine and close ratio 4-speed Muncie transmission. Yenko also ordered the cars with COPO 9737 which included a 140 mph (230 km/h) speedometer, a larger 1 1/8th inch front anti-sway bar, and a special trim tag. Yenko swapped out the factory 396 in³ short-block for the L72 427 in³ 450 hp (336 kW) short-block reusing the rest of the 396 in³ engine's components including the heads, carburetor, intake manifold, etc. He swapped the stock hood for a twin-snorkel fiberglass hood and added Pontiac's 14"x6" steel wheels with special Yenko caps, Yenko emblems gracing the front grill, front fenders and tail panel. 427 emblems were added to the tail panel and front fenders as well. The cars had a Yenko Super Camaro serial-numbered tag in the driver's side door jamb and Stewart Warner pedestal-mounted tachometer and gauges were installed in the interior. Early cars got a rear spoiler made for Yenko and later cars all got the factory spoilers front and rear. The recognized production number for these cars is approx 64 cars converted, with well less than half of that number known to exist today.
For 1969, the dealership worked with Chevrolet to have the L72 engines installed on the factory assembly line using a Central Office Production Order, or COPO. The orders included power disc brakes, spoilers, cowl-induction hood, a 4.10 Positraction rear end with gears that were heat treated for strength, a bigger front sway bar, and a heavy-duty 4-core radiator. Buyers of the car had the option of either the M-21 four speed or the Turbo Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission. A total of 201 cars were sold in 1969, 171 with four speed transmissions and 30 with automatic transmissions. Yenko rounded out the visual package with special "Yenko 427" badges, stripes down the sides and hood, and the sYc (Yenko Super Car) on the headrests. According to the Camaro Research Group, standard black interior (code 711) was the only interior ordered by Yenko in 69.
Recently a company in North Carolina called Classic Automotive Restoration Specialists has restarted production of the 1969 Yenko Camaro.[3][4] Don Yenko sold 201 of his famous COPO-program Camaros out of his Canonsburg, PA dealership. As reported in the March '08 issue of Muscle Car Review, the vehicle is a fully licensed and certified Yenko starting at #202. The 427 in³ engine under the hood was built by GM who has brought back the big block engines from the muscle car era. The rest of the components took 2½ years to track down the original tooling. Options offered on the vehicle are the same as was available in 1969 including paint colors. The car costs around 60% less than some of the current 43-year-old Yenko Camaro survivors but drives like the old car would have when it was new from the dealership. Two known people own Yenko's Camaros.

The amount of details and story you give to your models is just amazing!
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
I heard “Yvonne” at the office was easily impressed by a free ride and a buffet ticket! 😂 Great build sir!
You should see what she does for a Klondike bar!!
@@hpiguy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@hpiguy
what’s Yvonne’s number ...?
Great weathering technics, thanks for the show. Ron
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
Most excellent build. I love the weathering, and the back story. Thanks!
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
That looks fantastic. Really amazing. Great build and awesome finish - looks like it's been sat on someone's lawn just rotting away. Great vid, thanks for sharing.
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
Great job on the weathering. Love the build
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
the wheels out of this kit are awesome, really deep set. Great job and as always love your videos.
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
Very cool build bro! That’s definitely in my top five that you’ve built! Amazing! 💯👍🏼
Thanks Tim!
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
Back to my hpiguy video fix after 2 weeks of illness an a week in the VA hospital. Trying to catch up. Keep them flowing Chris, you don't know how good it makes me feel. Beautiful job on the Camaro. Love your spin.
Now you should build another one, all restored and pristine. Before and after.
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
Fantastic! I love the back story.
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
I was kind of on the fence about the weathering on this car. But the way you do it, and the way that you don't put a whole lot on it, makes it look so realistic. Nice clean brand new looking car would be fine, but this one looks like it's been rode hard and put away wet. Lots of work and talent put into the creation of this car. I love it.
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
💘 the well detailed tires with this kit...
I really like the storytelling with this model. Great work on making it a wreck!
Thanks!
Man I really like the way this one came out. Thanks to you I can have more of an imagination whenever I do my own builds and I just don't have to make them perfect all the time!!
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
Nice work love the tips on making it look weathered.
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
This looks soooooo amazing and realistic !!! I especially love the wheels and tyres & dry brushing techniques. Thanks for sharing your talents !!! 😇👍🏼
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
Very cool build 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I owned a motion Camaro back in the day...
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
"Oh, ya I'm gonna fix it up someday..." Nice build, and +1 for the back story. The only thing missing is all the empty beer bottles in the back seat (I was 17 once!). Thanks!
Right on!
Awesome project as always. My favorite models are the ones you weather and beat up! Keep up the great work.
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
Love what you did with that! Great video format also!
Nice kit Great personal touches abandoned look 👍 super
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
I love how he replys to every comment
And how long it must take to make every videos description
Thanks!
That's cool im working on that right now thanks for the hint's
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
I built the Revell 1969 RS/SS Camaro using the 'bug eye' style headlights. That was first kit I tried superdetail painting on. Each of the 4 'Z/28' badges, I hand painted the red 'Z', hand painted the battery clamps, positive cable in red, and the water fill caps. I always would hand paint Chrome Silver underneath Turn Signal Amber/Stop Light Red for side marker lights and any clear lenses for turn signals or taillights. Body was brush painted with Testors 1/4 oz jar of Gloss Turquoise, slightly more bluish tint than the spray can Tropical Turquoise you used on the Sonoma kit build.
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
That was Absolutely Awesome Chris! Looks Authentic! Great job as always!
Thank you! Cheers!
I did add this one to the stash looks great Chris keep building.
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
Looks like Bumblebee had a rough youth. Love the way you did this one. Nice to see something other than box stock. I have learned alot of weathering tricks watching your builds. Thank you.
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!

I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!

I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
T/Y for sharing your crafting techniques, you are very gifted sir
Thank you kindly!
I've watched this video before but just noticed the anti-freeze spilled on the intake manifold - it's interesting looking for these Easter Eggs in your videos that you don't mention. You are a true artist!
Thanks, and enjoy!

Yeah the perfectionists and whiners are doing their best to ruin the hobby.
Let's bring the FUN back!
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
Have to admit, that I wasn't to keen on the idea of " beating up " a YENKO, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt, and as usual, you came up with a back story to justify it and it came out amazing!
Thanks!
Excellent as always great build my friend
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
wow that turned out real cool for a beat up old car, with the story behind it almost looks real
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
Hi Chris I just started viewing your channel great job on all your videos I will start getting a few models and build
Another killer build! Beat up weathered kits are my favorite!
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
@@hpiguy Thank you for doing the vids man! I am learning all my dry brush tips from you. Please keep the weathering kits coming bro!
Great build, and I even though I haven't built a model cars in years, I discovered some good tips.
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
Love how you put your spin on modelmaking
Thank you! Cheers!
This once again, is a spectacular build.
I am going to use these techniques, as

beat up or weathered. I went a got some
craft paints, just for this reason! Love the video,
see you next time....
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
Great job on this one Chris. I really like what you did with it. I like the story you told with it. The dents look really good, I always learn something new in your builds thanks. I bought the Land Rover kit from Modelround up after watching your build video, can't wait till it gets here. Thanks much.
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
Majestic!
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
I really enjoy watching what you do with your models! I've built hundreds of car models, but I always like to make mine look like new. After watching what you do to make them look crusty, I might try that on my next one! :)
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
Awesome job!!!!
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
Really liked this build Chris. I don't build to many AMT (ERTL) kits anymore, mostly Tamiya, but I love watching your twist on each one you do. Keep up the amazing work!
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
Another awesome build Chris...your weathered vehicles always look like they were from a movie...great job
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
beautiful build
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
@@hpiguy no problem. i love your builds and have learned so much. ive been back into modeling for almost 2 years now and your channel hands down has taught me the most.
I recently discovered your channel, I haven’t built a model in nearly 30 years and your videos are inspiring. That louvered hood is the optional 1969 RS Camaro hood
Thanks a lot! And thanks for spending some time on the channel!
Very cool build my friend!
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
Love the weathering Chris. Also great video my friend
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thx for the awesome build! I had my hands on this kit at Micheals, why I put it back and got the Revell 69 Camaro z/28 I'll never know- this one looked a heck of a lot more fun! :)
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
Another great looking build man
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
I've finally found a video in which you show your dry brushing. I'm building the Yenko as a slotcar atm with the Revell body from their Fast and Furious kit.
Real looking. Real nice. Common sight "back then" - every neighborhood had at least one derelict in somebody's front yard. Nice jolt to the memory. Oh, I like the crackle - dashboard might of looked OK with it too.
Thanks for sharing...
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
Awesome thank you for sharing how you do the rust and. Fade I am looking on building something like this
No problem 👍
Lovely top class abandoned looking build well done
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
Great build. I enjoyed the video.
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
Great job. Perfect car for Da Yoopers! Rusty Chevrolet song. I like the effects you got from the denting.
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
How could you let your Yenko turn to trash like that? LOL! Awesome job brother!!! My father in law was a Yenko dealer in Carrollton Ohio! Huebner Chevrolet. He sold quite a few Yenkos and also ordered and sold # 69 ZL-1 all alumnum 427 Camaro. Very nice kit.
Cool mark , I know alot of yenko owners. I'll pass this along.. Fred Gibb ordered the 69 ZL-1 's in little La Harp ,Illinois
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
@@hpiguy you bet chris , that is one" sick "Camaro build !!!👍
I'm originally from Massillon, I do remember this dealer
What a Beautiful YENKO Imposter 🤓🤓, I Love it Chris, KIU n God Bless All.
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
Yeah, it's a real Yenko ... I could never afford to build a garage to put it in .... ha ha. Great story lines you come up with. Really enjoy your videos. Thanks for the weathering information you put in these videos as they help me with my builds. Keep em coming!
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
Great weathering Chris

Cool build. Love it
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
@@hpiguy you're welcome. My pleasure
I am in the middle 9f building this kit and I am struggling with the firewall ! It has two lugs on the inside that look like they are supposed to be there but would leave a 1/4 inch gap between tub and firewall when veiwed from below ! Am I supposed to remove these? . God I hope that isn't a dumb question
Yes they did a 69 Camaro Convertible which explains why that extra part must be in there.
Ive got a AMT/ERTL 396 convert issue but i think it was a MPC tool origenly?
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
Super awesome build keep doing what you're doing God Bless
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
I remember these kits being really easy to build or if you’re in to kit bash I used the subframe and engine for a old 57 Chevy
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
Another great build brother
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
@@hpiguy your welcome brother
DUDE! thats awesome!!!
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
nice transportation for work or play thanx chris !
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
@@hpiguy thanx, odds are I won't miss any of your reviews, ( I haven't yet ) ads or not! thanx again.
I just received this kit for Christmas last December from my wife! As usual a very nice review and build. I will be doing mine as an original, but I like the 'barn find' look of your build. I find it interesting they are down to 2 left that people own. I recall a really old car magazine (possibly Hot Rod Magazine) I have from the 1980s that stated only 12 were left. Wikipedia says 2 as you had also mentioned. A typo back then, mistake, or who knows. I do think it would be highly unlikely that 10 extremely rare 1969 Yenko Camaros would go missing from the 1980s to present day. I believe one went for over $200,000 at a Barrett Jackson auction not to long ago. I will be starting this build as soon as I finish a 1937 Ford Coupe street rod this weekend. I will post the completed build on FB.
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
nice chris good job 👍
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
Great work. I always preferred the Revell kits more only because of the details.
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
How did you detail the Camaro emblem on the front fenders?
Hi chris whats the name of the spreader type clamp you use to hold your vehicle bodies in the spray booth. Cheers 😀
Nice-this is the perfekt Base for many Ideas
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
Good imagination 😁, great build!!
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
That is a very cool car.
Thank you!
Perfect thing to do with this kit. If you want a real nice 69 Yenko Camaro, get yourself a Revell kit.
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
Another fun build, looks great, I felt sad for the owner that Yvonne wasn't impressed with his car
I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!
You could also on your missing headlight take a small drill bit and drill a hole right in the center of the missing headlight to give it a more realistic look for the wires would go through
It will be interesting how the weathering and patina you're adding to this build will turn out...
Awesome car
Thanks!
Like the seat belt hanging out of driver door but please remove mold line on that tire on trunk lid. Great believable display of a well used car, better than a trailer queen.
I love the "silly putty masking". When I was a kid, and a poor kid at that, I used lard from a small supply that I kept from the last time we slaughtered a hog. No kidding, I grew up in the country and I watched and even helped a little bit when we slaughtered a hog each year when the weather was cold enough.. Granted it doesn't work as well as silly putty, but lard works pretty darn good and you can't fry meat in a Iron skillet with silly putty. :)
